    I've only had this drive for a couple of months and the most important attribute of a hard drive is its longevity, so we will have to wait and see on that. But it is a wonderful hard drive! Very fast throughput! I formatted it with one an apfs partition and an hpfs partition to make backups, one of which is bootable. Everything has worked find through two backups and my computer boots from this drive with no problems.

    I think overall this works fine, but when I bought I did not pay attention at the lack of encryption and password management. Even though intend to use it to store photos, I decided to exchange for the WD Passport, which I have been using for years with older models.
